Road bike or MTB, Switzerland is my favorite place to ride.

While on the topic of all weather cycling, I have been using Westcomb. They use e-vent and ALL of their products are made in beautiful British Columbia. Although they don't make cycling specific clothing clothing, their Cruzer jacket does the job, as well as their layers.

How come the new Dura Ace and XTR cranks and rings look so much like the plastic covered one piece cranks you find on $100 dollar budget bikes in department stores? The new shifters look like Sram clones.
